 Our holidays are pretty simple.
I once dreamed of big fancy affairs and elegant tables,
but that does not quite fit into my life at the moment.
However, that does not mean we lack tradition
or that our holiday tables are any less charming,
in fact I think in our house we have created our own unique kinds of holidays! 

One of our favorite family traditions is letting the kids decide on and decorate the Thanksgiving table. I help a little bit, no seriously just a teeny-tiny bit. They take a huge amount of pride in this task and it makes them feel good.

Wedding Celebrations: Bubbles and Brew Couples Shower

disclosure: I love weddings and am happy to be working with Target to show you the possibilities of the Target Wedding Catalog and Registry.

It has been 16 years since I was married, but I remember every detail of every party and of the wedding. I went on to use my experiences to help other couples plan amazing events. I loved the couples I worked with. All different. All unique. All bright and hopeful for their future and full of ideas about their weddings and life together. All of them wanting, striving to blend their individual interests and ideas and lives together.

Stepping Out Of His Comfort Zone With #MaLoUnderwear

It is back to school time here.

To me that means new socks and underwear for everyone along

with the backpacks, school supplies, and clothing.

My son has a very difficult time understanding

or caring why new socks and underwear are a part of this "package"...

but I am the mom...so I win!

And I decided to surprise him and get him to step out of his comfort zone.

Mario Lopez has a new line of underwear at Target  - MaLo Underwear - and I was given the opportunity to shop this line and let you know what I think....

or more importantly what one of the men in my life thinks.

Before I go on...I just have to tell you I have met Mario Lopez before.

Anyone remember that show he was on back in the early 2000 with Dick Clark and Danny Bonaduce? Yep, I was on that show...and they were all very nice.
